Read reviewsYour occasion sets the tone. We bring the live music.
At SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, we have brought company teams onto the dance floor. At Eventkirche, a very upscale birthday became a lively celebration with a five-piece band and DJ. Those evenings show us how varied live music in Dortmund can be.
Tell us who you are inviting and the atmosphere you have in mind. We build a musical programme around that: restrained during dinner, attentive around speeches and full of familiar pop, rock and chart hits when the party begins. There is room for spontaneous solos, singing along and responding to your guests.
Every room deserves its own band setup.
Experience at two distinctive venues
At the stadium, we plan equipment delivery all the way to the booked event room. At Eventkirche, a small drum kit and compact PA worked well. Our experience helps you allocate space for musicians, production and dancing from the start.
A band that responds to your guests
Our professionally trained musicians perform in established core teams. Without backing tracks or music stands, we remain musically flexible. Together, we choose a line-up based on your preferences, the available space and the character of your celebration.
Lighting for the whole room
Ambient uplights can illuminate much more than the band. We used 20 at Eventkirche; for stadium rooms, we recommend around 20 to 50 depending on the space. We agree colours, positions and the optional booking around your event.

From the reception to the last dance.
Company parties at the stadium
Our SIGNAL IDUNA PARK performances were at company events. Whether you choose a DJ with live artists or a larger band, we coordinate performance times, dinner, speeches and the party with your team. The booked room and access routes are part of the plan from the start.
A birthday in a distinctive setting
We know Eventkirche from a very upscale birthday celebration. A lively five-piece band, DJ and carefully planned room lighting worked beautifully together. If you are looking for an unusual setting for a private party, we are happy to share our experience.
Your wedding in Dortmund
For your wedding, we plan music around your guests and the day’s schedule. From a relaxed reception to an evening line-up for dancing, we offer personal advice. We clarify setup, equipment and permitted volume with your chosen venue.
Your company event with a band · Live music for your wedding
Two Dortmund venues. Our own performances.
Stadium rooms and a former church make very different demands on a band. Here are our experiences at both venues, with practical pointers for your planning. We reconfirm the specific use and current production arrangements for your event.
SIGNAL IDUNA PARK: company celebrations in a stadium setting
We have performed here several times for company events, in VIP areas and different function rooms. Being close to the stadium makes the evening special for many guests. The view and room layout depend on the area you book.
Our stadium line-ups
Our previous events used a range of formats: a DJ with a singer, saxophone and percussion, as well as our five- and seven-piece live bands. We found the rooms well suited to live music, with enough space for the agreed setup at those performances.
Our events also allowed lively party volume. That does not replace arrangements for your date: we take the specific room, any simultaneous events and venue requirements into account.
Level unloading, with time allowed for lifts
At our performances, unloading started at ground level; we then used lifts to reach the event areas. Equipment is therefore not in position immediately after unloading. Lift trips and loading and unloading time need to be built into the setup schedule.
We agree the unloading point, lift, access times and contacts in advance. BVB also states that external suppliers must be coordinated before the event. This allows us to plan the band, DJ and production services together with the event team.
20 to 50 ambient uplights for your room
Additional ambient uplights can make a large function room feel warmer and more personal. For stadium celebrations, we often recommend around 20 to 50 uplights, depending on room size and the desired design. You can book this room lighting through us, and we plan it alongside the stage lighting.
Eventkirche Dortmund: a five-piece band for a special birthday
A church interior may initially suggest a lot of reverberation. At our Eventkirche performance, however, live music worked well. The right approach made the difference: a restrained drum kit, compact audio and lighting equipment, and close attention to the atmosphere throughout the room.
How we played the birthday celebration
We performed as a lively five-piece band at an upscale birthday celebration. A DJ booked through us and our own sound and lighting technician were also part of the event. We used a smaller drum kit and kept the other equipment compact. For your event, we will agree with the venue how to use its current in-house system and any additional equipment.
We added 20 ambient uplights to illuminate the room. The result suited the distinctive setting of the celebration, and access was straightforward on that occasion. We are happy to recommend Eventkirche if you want a venue with an unusual character.
Plan the music and drum kit carefully
We recommend a modest drum setup played with restraint. That still leaves plenty of room for lively songs. A progression from pop to some rockier numbers can suit the evening; we agree the programme with you and adapt it to the room.
We have not tried an all-rock evening there. We advised our client against it because, in our view, continuously dense and loud playing could become acoustically tiring in this room. This is our personal recommendation based on preparation and the performance we experienced, not a general venue rule.

YOUR BAND SIZE.
YOUR BAND SIZE.
A DJ with live artists at the stadium, a compact five-piece band in a church or seven musicians for your company party: we advise on the right line-up. Compare our voices and band sizes here in genuine performance videos.
Quartet. All live.
Female vocals, guitar, drums and keyboards with bass played live at the same time by the keyboardist’s left hand. That gives you a full band performance with just four musicians.
Quintet. Two voices.
A male singer joins the four-piece band. Two lead singers take turns and perform duets, adding variety to your corporate event, wedding or party.
Larger lineup
Additional singers, saxophone or brass can extend the band by arrangement. Meet the people behind the music and discuss your preferred line-up with us.
Meet the musiciansBand and DJ for your whole evening
3 × 45 minutes of live performance form the starting point. A fourth 45-minute set can be booked separately. The standard optional DJ booking covers seven hours, usually including the live sets.
A special theme for your evening?
With the optional Chameleon concept we develop a coordinated programme for your idea. We agree on its scope and musical possibilities personally.
Lifts, setup and performance. Time for every step.
At the stadium, preparation starts with the route to the booked room: where do we unload, which lift is available and when can we set up? For Eventkirche, we focus on the compact performance area, drum kit and room lighting. At both venues, we plan a soundcheck before guests arrive.
Two trained full-time office staff support your preparations with experience from more than 2,000 event plans. After the contract is agreed, we collect musical preferences, no-go songs and programme details through online questionnaires. We manage contracts and invoices digitally while keeping our communication with you personal.
Two days before the performance, we check the final details together. Delivery, dinner, speeches, live sets and an optional DJ should fit into one schedule. Before then, you can use our free consultation to find the right musical approach for your Dortmund event space.

YOUR LIGHTING. YOUR STAGE.
At Eventkirche, a compact setup with additional room lighting worked well for us. In the stadium rooms, we match production to your line-up, audience area and venue arrangements. L and XL are examples from our S-to-XXL range.
The agreed equipment package includes the PA, stage lighting, stage equipment, a professional audio engineer, setup and dismantling. The band and DJ are selected separately; room lighting and stage platforms remain optional extras.

Stadium or Eventkirche? Answers for your planning.
Which performances connect you with Dortmund?
We have played several company events at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK and a very upscale birthday at Eventkirche. At the stadium, we performed with DJ Plus and five- and seven-piece bands; at Eventkirche, with five musicians, our own technician and a DJ.
What should we plan for stadium setup?
At our performances, we unloaded at ground level and then used lifts to reach the function rooms. Allow extra time for trips and loading and unloading. Access, time windows and external suppliers need to be coordinated with the BVB event team.
Is Eventkirche suitable for a live band?
Our performance with five musicians, a small drum kit and compact equipment worked well there. We agree with the venue which in-house system and additional equipment to use for your event. We have not tested a full evening of rock there; our concept at the time focused on musical variety.
Can we add a DJ and ambient uplights?
Yes. At Eventkirche, we supplied a DJ through us and 20 ambient uplights. For stadium rooms, we recommend around 20 to 50 uplights depending on size and design. An optional DJ provides seven hours as standard; we coordinate the details around your schedule.
How long will the band play at our party?
Three live sets of 45 minutes form the standard programme. A fourth set can be added. We schedule the performances around dinner, speeches and dancing, and discuss how an optional DJ covers breaks and the rest of the evening.
How do I enquire about my Dortmund event?
Send us the date, occasion, guest count and your Dortmund venue, including the exact room. Your preferred line-up, a possible DJ and existing production arrangements also help. After a personal consultation, we prepare your individual quote.
